Every week is the “all out” game when you’re facing elimination. The real “all out” game was against Pittsburgh. That was the game to establish ourselves as a real NFL team. Campbell was scared on the first drive.

LOL…no, all out during the tailgating…
Food, beer, Henney, whatevers! It will be a long 8 months after!

Wrong about the season RMR. The queefs are gonna loose,and the raiders are gonna win. No matter what that leaves at least one more week. Why be a hatter?

hwnrdr

That is what we can all hope for…KC, and SD lose and we beat the Colts! It can happen…

#279,282 jfb,,, are you still in here? you haven’t posted since six..come back, please, let’s talk lol

Yeah JC was scared the 1st drive vs the Steelers that’s why he drove the team all the way downfield and should’ve had a TD pass if the WR didn’t run out of bounds first.

While JC will not win any MVP votes he has played well enough to get us in position for a possible playoff birth for the first time in 8 years.

JFord is without doubt the steal of the draft with Veldheer as his runner up. We also got a very good LB out the 6th rnd in Goethel who has won a starting job. This may have been the most successful offseason in the NFL bringing in Hujack a QB and a great draft class has transformed this team into a contender. If we didn’t start out 1-3 we would be in the playoffs.

322. Totally.. and thank God

Cable has been able to manage AD’s lunacy and still been able to win – and that in itself is a huge accomplishment. Bottom line, AD drafts, accumulates athletes many of which don’t belong in the NFL and the overall scheme still lives in 1975. Most coaches and picks cannot function here — but Cable has – and honestly I’m shocked – been able to get these guys to believe and actually improve while still being the consumate company man – look at DMC and Ford and Mitchell and Kelly, etc etc – in lesser years these guys were automatic busts. I think he stays because he must have pull with AD in that he as defied him yet still has pushed the team forward and in a way that still shines the light on the old man. The players know it and their responding.

It’s Tom Flores all over again.

I say let Hue go if he wants, because Cable is the new Madden. He knows the insanity but yet gets the best out of a difficult (impossible) situation of coddling the old man where nobody else can, Hue is not ready for that. Nobody is.

Go Raiders!

Veldeer is a Cable pick – without question. And he is producing. Campbell was Al’s pick and Cable had the balls to keep him out of the lineup. If Gallery and others, had the same treatment we might not have been so embarrassed early in decade.

………

Tom Flores was, for nearly a decade, an assistant to what was then the winningest head coach in NFL.

Think before you type.

Madden left because Al’s insane. Tom managed the team – and was absolutely dealing with the same craziness.. And yet won. Winning despite..

priesttj

The only insanity is YOU dumbell Cable is doing his job, the one he was hired to do nothing more. This team was biult top to bottom by Mr Davis most of these players were here before Cable.

Tom Cable just doesn’t oppose him Mr Davis, he reasons with him if Mr Davis didn’t allow him to keep his job and bring in Hujack to help him this team wouyld probably be no better than 6-10 again. Mr Dabvis also brought in the QB, yes! the oine who’s winning games for us right now. Cable had the little hero in the way unytil Mr Davis put his butt on IR. That’s been the difference. Get a clue!!!

I was referring to Tom Flores on the last post.. but the same applies to Cable .. AD has a way, its his way or the highway – he makes crazy decisions, some work some don’t – since they came back to Oak most haven’t. My feeling is that coaching does matter and Cable has done something noone since Gru has done – in spite of what many consider to be lunacy – when Cable took over this team was a disaster – he benched JaFat – got rid of the BS, got 2 decent drafts (despite Bey who I still think has something) and changed the attitude but in a way that Al is comfortable with. Thats the key. And changing now is a huge mistake – Cable has an option on his contract which AD will pick up and if Hue leaves – he wont get an HC offer I’m telling you – but if he does – I say don’t choose him over Cable ..

lefty12

Most of the starters were not here before Cable,and once again your hatred for BG comes out.Funny how short some people memory is.Before Cable became HC the team was in chaos.There was no accountability.Players quit at the slightest bit of controversy.There was back stabbing and divisiveness.Cable has restored the pride everyone once had in being a Raider.Now that that pride has been restored,many want to dump him or at the very least give him no credit.Those people are wrong.

priesttj

So I gues you were in the warroom and heard TCV tell mR Davis to shutup and he’ll make the next pick, as he boldly took Veldheer agsinst Big Al’s wishes. Yeah and Pigs are flying everywhere.

raiderfankirk

just saying rmr if u r a fan why not root for the team rather than say their done?Way to support the team!!!

CDERaider

Look, Al Davis is the last living Icon of the golden age of the NFL. He is not stupid, he’s just paranoid. He won’t trust anyone unless they

1) Play the type of game as he wants
2) Use the players that he thinks are the best
3) Win

And Cable has done that – I know his record sucks overall but he took over a mess – but look at what Gruden did – he built a team based on Al’s recipe and still won. Gru went 8-8 his first two seasons but built a winner – I think we’re on that same path.

Sure did look like Cable made the picks this year to me?

I like this team.

Just need some help in the obvious positions.

And Tom won a sb stupid . Think?

lefty12

After years of terrible drafts,it is more than a coincidence we’ve had 2 good drafts in a row since Cable became HC.We all know AD makes the final decision on draft day,but he does listen to those around him,especially if they have good input.I believe Cable has helped provide some of that good input.

CDERaider

Yup

jmcclain

Campbell is garbage. I don’t give him credit for the way the offense has played this yr. His throws are so off recievers have to make such an effort to catch them. Hue doesn’t have him do much as far as throwing. Killer running game and big big plays from are backs this yr. Ford making big plays to but dmac Reece and bush are the reason the offense is so good this yr. I wish I was wrong but just seen to many things from him to think otherwise.

CDERaider

339. Al listens to people he trusts.

And Cable has gained his trust. That’s why we have Veldeer and Houston – Ford was AD’s call, but he was right…

priesttj

What makes you think I hate Gradkowski Lefty12? I don’t have to hate him to give my opinion I’ve stated the same opinion since day 1. What I have to adore him to tal;k about him? Don’t hate anyone who’s a Raider I just thopught from day1 that the Raiders would be better off if JC was playing well as a starter. YOu know everyone criticism I’ve had for both of them until now. I have grown more sure of JC since the SD game and have said so.

Calling him the “little hero” bother you or something? He is their little hero IMO doesn’t mean I hate the kid at all.

CDERaider

341. Wrong – Campbell is far from garbage.

I hated the trade. I thought he was horrible. He has proven me wrong. He’s a baller and Al was right – Grad’s is not durable enough and Campbell has a winning record with this team – with time he can be great, and he will be.

Guy

People that didn’t like Campbell before will find anything to complain about, it is like the receivers aren’t allowed to make acrobatic catches and Peyton’s receivers never have to adjust to any of his perfect throws.

Like CDE, I didn’t know much about Campbell at first and thought he was terrible in the first 2 games, but he began to prove me wrong every week since the second Chargers games. I was also a Grads supporter until the phins game, where I realized he probably couldn’t take us very far.

CDERaider

With our running game, our studs on D, our youth, our new attitude, and the playmakers – (Reece is a monster, Miller is one of the best in the league, Murphy is the next Hines Ward and DMAC can be in the HOF if he wants to – he’s that good) we will be a force for the next 4 years minimum – just don’t *uck it up with firing Cable and sending us back to the BS…

lefty12

It is the way you always refer to him and the fact you always bring him up-negatively.You usually use some derogatory name when discussing him.You also seem to want Cable gone because at the beginning of the year both Cable and his OC,H.Jackson,felt at the time BG gave the team the best chance to win,and frankly,by watching the 1st couple of games,almost everyone agreed.We have been playing .500 ball with JC at QB,but nobody say that coming early in the year.He has gotten better,but he wasn’t ready to lead this team 16 weeks ago,you even stated that at the time.Now you complain because he wasn’t given the total reins from the beginning.

If.. we can somehow make the playoffs… the rest of the league does *not* want to play this team.. I have NFL replay – got to say we have been kicking major ASSSS *most* of the time – you change 3-4 plays this team should be 9-5 – I know that’s BS because we aren’t but I have confidence that we are on the right path. We are the best team in the AFC west and the Ravens or the Jets would rather play anyone else beside the RAIIIDERS right now. Believe that!
